POBTHOUSTOCK, COXSWAIN,.—At midnight on the 13th April, during a strong breeze from the N.E., the weather at the same time being hazy, it was reported that a large steamer had struck on the Manacles Boots. The Mary Ann Storey Life-boat proceeded to her, and found that she was the Lady Dnllwutie, of Greanoek, bound from London to Newport, in ballast, with ft crew of 30 men. ' She had struck on a low part of the Manacles while going at full speed, and. after passing over that reef she went again into deep water. She was then found to be leaking badly, and the master decided to run her ashore. She soon however struck another rock, an isolated one with deep water all round.

The vessel appeared to hang on the side of this rock, and it was feared that as the tide flowed she would slip off and go down head foremost. At the master's request the Life-boat remained by her, as she had eleven feet of water in her hold, the pumps being of no service ia keeping it under.

The ship's boats were lowered, and all the men's clothing, etc., was placed in them, several of the crew in two boats were taken charge of by the second coxswain and landed at Pprthoustock, the Life-boat taking others of the crew into her, and remaining alongside for eight hours, when she returned to the shore with two of the vessel's crew oa board. The steamer eventually became a total wreck, but happily no lives were lost..
